Big shoutout to great sponsor Prologis! Their DC operation is expanding to include Norfolk, Va., for an 8M SF mid-Atlantic footprint. They have maintained a 95% occupancy, with over 400k SF signed in the last 90 days. Congrats!

We've definitely discovered the antidote to economic blues: A great party at a great venue can take your mind off anything. We were thrilled to see over 1,200 of you loyal readers at the Park at FourteenthWednesday night, enjoying the endless bounty of its amazing food and drink, working yourself into an admirably Washington-style networking frenzy, and ultimately displaying your impressive civic rectitude as many of you stayed on, quieted down, and watched the final presidential debate, 21 references to Joe the Plumber and all.

You readers should keep the good times flowing and hold all your autumnal and holiday parties at the Park, and invite us to come eat and drink with you cover it with our fine editorial staff. The Park's four spacious floors, elegant d?cor, flowing bars, efficient staff, and general sizzling glamour all lived up to reputation, and we don't say that just because we're still dizzy with ego at seeing our name decaled onto their windows.

Not to belabor the Joe the Plumber references, but the buffet line mimicked his favorite tool, snaking across the second floor. It was an endless array of crabcakes, jumbo shrimp, blackened salmon, beef tenderloin, seafood pasta, fine cheeses, Caprese and Caesar salads, and specialty cocktails, including our personal favorite, the "Bisnow Energy Cocktail" (seriously, the Club specially created it): apparently equal parts Barack, John, and Jim (Beam).

Park at Fourteenth owner Marc Barnes, center, is a legend. He also owns Love (in NE DC, second largest club in America, with regular performers like Jay-Z) and is a familiar face on the Vegas strip. His entourage for this photo: Cooley Godward Kronish's Paul Laurence, our own party instigator Elliott Bisnow, Roberts & Associates Elisha Roberts, and the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center's Alana Cassidy and Jacie Roberts.

Hines' Scott Meyer, Studley's Adam Schindler and Leo A Daly's Annie Axelrod enjoy the dessert bar; did we forget to mention there was a whole floor of sweets? Adam washed down his chocolate pastry with five-times distilled Ciroc vodka made from grapes picked in the Gaillac and Cognac region of France. So, it tasted like vodka, right? Annie is looking forward to work next week—shocking, until we learned that she'll be at the NAIOP Developer's Conference in Las Vegas!

Beveridge & Diamond's Karl Bourdeau, EFX Media's Cheryl Platt, Turner's JoelCausey, Archstone's Debbie Weinman, and Beveridge's Ed West. Before we interrupted, Joel and Debbie discovered that they are both working on the same mixed-use development (a Bisnow match-up!) at Wisconsin Place in Chevy Chase. Turner is the contractor and Archstone is partnering with Boston Properties and New England Development at the 1.5M SF site (home of the new Bloomingdale's).

DuPont Fabros' Kristen Kaylor and CBRE's Nicole Thomas. Nicole is heading to Miami on Monday but assured us it wasn't for partying. She'll be attending a data systems conference. The two then spent the next 5 minutes arguing whether it's pronounced "day-ta" or "daa-ta." We're not taking sides.

More Studley crew: Bethany Hobbs, Richard Barnett, Aisha Malik, Parker Lange, DianaSechrist and Timothy Foley. Diana shows off her "Holiday Party" drink—a giant kamikaze shot. Tim says Studley is acting fast to track down a site for Dunder Mifflin's relocation from Scranton. He then spent several minutes outlining needs, including: 30K SF, warehouse space, and room for a ping-pong table. This once again proves our point: alcohol and The Office don't mix.
